One Nation Member of Parliament Barnaby Joyce He failed to guarantee that all of the party’s policies would be subject to costs ahead of the election, after the coalition claimed the right-wing party’s agenda would devastate the budget and raise interest rates.

opposition leader, Angus TaylorLast week, he gave a major speech claiming that Hanson’s platform would cost more than $1 trillion over a decade, could force the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and even risk a sovereign debt crisis.

Appearing on Sky News, Joyce, who is now One Nation’s treasury spokesman, brushed off Taylor’s attack.

Sky News presenter Andrew Clennell He asked Joyce whether the party would submit all its policies to the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) for costs, to which he replied:

We will do this to the best of our ability.

Pressed for the guarantee, Joyce said:

I won’t make any such guarantees, Andrew, because that means I have the resources to do so.

And if I could just get the word out that we would have the resources to do it, that would definitely make it a lot easier.

It is important to note that One Nation’s headcount should have no impact on its ability to submit costs to the PBO. The budget office is open to all MPs, including independents, providing independent analysis of their proposals.

Asked by Clennell whether One Nation would be prepared to fund additional staff, Joyce said:

We will have to.
